Member Testimonials
People are always friendly and it's not _too_ crowded.
I am happy with my experience there. The gym is clean and well staffed and the machines function well. All the staff are friendly. The lifeguards are capable and alert.
I think the Y has a good mission.
Honestly my issues are pretty nitpicky- I wish it stayed open longer (it used to stay open to 10 and especially 7 PM on the weekend). I wish the pool was a little more available (it often has the swim team plus swim classes)
STaff is always friendly and welcoming. Great variety of exercise equipment to accomodate any level of workout.
Good schedule of classes.
'The Orokawa Y in Towson has a large variety of equipment that is well maintained. Staff is professional and helpful. The facility is clean and in good condition. The facility is well worth the cost, that is, in my opinion, not overly expensive.
Friendly staff
We enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, the variety of classes, the instructors, and our fellow members.
But one comment: we understand that recent changes resulted in lower compensation for instructors and notice that at least one popular instructor has resigned. Please reconsider any policy that has such an effect. And we also understood that the recent notice about an increase in dues was partly related to compensating staff adequately.
I really like the family pool. I have COPD and it is difficult for me to work out in the gym.
Friendly staff, facilities are well maintained, a wide range of activities and programs.
A good value for the money. No semi-pro gym people grinding through their workouts. Just normal folks that are kind and polite. Lots of activities and facilities that are readily maintained, and always clean and organized. Also, no distasteful music being played during my workout. Having been a member of more than six gyms in my life, this is by far the best. Simply but efficient.
The people I’ve met & friendships that followed, the always pleasant & supportive staff & the pool offerings
We DO need more water classes though

I like that the Y made COVID vax mandatory for the entire staff. I like that a lot.
I like the community atmosphere, that it is a place where a great variety of people feel comfortable to meet.
I like the health support they give to those who need it and have seen staff take extra steps tp help whole might encounter momentary heath issues.
I like that they have struggled to remain open and to serve those in need i the community.
I like that classes have resumed for when they are wanted by those who are ready to resume them.
I am so impressed with the Y. Everyone is so friendly, the place is very clean and organized and the activities/classes are plentiful.
The diversity of physical activities that can be performed at the Y and the ample time availability for each one of them
Great space and the staff were super friendly!
I just rejoined the Y recently and I went yesterday to make an appointment to get involved with FitQuest. I was informed immediately what I needed to do, made an appointment, and was able to meet with a trainer (Chris). Chris met me on the dot at 4 pm and spent @ an hour getting me reaquainted with the program and reacessing me for a strengh training program. I have another appointment for more instruction on Monday. Previously I was a member at this same Y and mostly did swimming classes. I was always impressed with the swimming program and expect to try out some of the classes again.
The front desk people are so welcoming and know my name. The members in the classes are so nice and I love the instructors. I love coming to the Y!
Staff couldn'tbe nicer and the facilities are great.
Excellent facility, friendly professional associates
Love the clean large pool and the variety of swim fitness classes offered. Great instructors, too!
Friendly staff who enrolled in us. The Teen Quest Trainers made my daughter excited about working out. Other gyms made her feel intimidated.
I have enjoyed the challenge opportunity that was offered during the month of December. It encouraged me to set my own goals within the challenge goal. The additional offerings allowed additional opportunities to achieve the challenge of December. The overall experience has me looking toward other goals I can set for myself in the coming new year.
